FROM THE DESK OF REV NIHAL FERNANDO
Dear Parishioners,
As we look at the world around us today, our hearts are heavy with the
ongoing pain, destruction, and uncertainty caused by war. It is easy to feel
helpless in the face of such global conflict, but as a community of faith, we
are never without hope.
Let us anchor our hearts in the words of Holy Scripture:
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."
Matthew 5 : 9
Now more than ever, we must stand together in prayer for our world
leaders. We pray that God grants them the wisdom to look beyond
immediate political gains and to think deeply about the present and the
future generations who will inherit the consequences of their choices.
May they be guided to establish pathways of lasting peace rather than the
destruction of war.
Let us anchor our hearts in the words of Holy Scripture:
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."
Matthew 5 : 9
As your shepherd, I encourage each of you to be instruments of peace in
your own homes and neighborhoods. Peace on a global scale begins with
the love, understanding, and reconciliation we cultivate in our daily lives.
Let us remain steadfast in prayer, trusting that the Prince of Peace will
guide our world out of darkness.
Yours in Christ,
